deflate-rs

An pure rust implementation of a DEFLATE encoder. Not a direct port, but does take some inspiration from zlib and zopfli(for huffman code length generation).

So far, in-memory deflate encoding (without lazy matching, and no zlib dictionary or gzip support yet) has been is implemented. No unsafe code has been used. Currently not very optimised.

Usage:

rust let data = ...; let compressed = deflate_bytes(&data);

Other deflate/zlib rust projects

• libflate Bindings to miniz.c that are part of the rust distribution.
• flate2 FLATE, Gzip, and Zlib bindings for Rust
• Zopfli in Rust Rust port of zopfli
• inflate Pure rust DEFLATE decoder
• miniz-rs Direct rust translation of miniz.c
